In the seventh week, there came a telegram from Colonel Hampton himself, and then a letter, a kind, dignified letter of condolence.

到第七个星期，汉普顿上校以他个人的名义发来一个电报，接着又寄来一封信，一封亲切、庄严的吊唁信。

Among the letters of condolence showered upon him was one from Clarence King at Pasadena, " heart-breaking in grace and tenderness — the old King manner" ; and King himself " simply waiting till nature and the foe have done their struggle" .

在如雨后春笋般涌向他的吊唁信中，有一封来自帕萨迪纳的克拉伦斯·金 (Clarence King)，“优雅而温柔，令人心碎——老国王的举止”；而金本人“只是在等待大自然和敌人完成他们的斗争”。
